I agree that a fair wage for all should be the objective. But when that objective is forced through the culture war meat grinder, we get opinions like this. That subthread is not about pay equality, but about gender equality. That confusion is not unusual nor is it confined to an internet message board.

There are a lot of problems with the influence of money in politics. One of them is the conversion of advocacy into a consumer product. Fairness for all frequently, it seems, becomes fairness for me. And who profits most from consumer goods designed to exacerbate affectation and self indulgence?

And if you don't get paid enough to do it, it's all stink sucking.
